[53.01] NASA Astrophysics Data System's New Data

The NASA Astrophysics Data System has greatly increased its
data holdings. The Physics database now contains almost
900,000 references and the Astronomy database almost 550,000
references. The Instrumentation database has almost 600,000
references.

The scanned articles in the ADS Article Service are
increasing in number continuously. Almost 1 million pages
have been scanned so far. Recently the abstracts books from
the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference have been scanned
and put on-line. The Monthly Notices of the Royal
Astronomical Society are currently being scanned back to
Volume 1. This is the last major journal to be completely
scanned and on-line. In cooperation with a conservation
project of the Harvard libraries, microfilms of historical
observatory literature are currently being scanned. This
will provide access to an important part of the historical
literature.
